Xuanyuan Chen also picked up his wine cup and returned it to Ji Rufeng. After finishing the wine cup, Ji Cangming had already brought Xie Qingrong to take a look around. Xie Qingrong had already met many people she should and should not have known each other multiple times.
Thus, the wedding banquet came to an end.
Xie Qingrong patted her shoulders that was a little sore and whispered into Xuanyuan Chen's ear: "I didn't expect that just toasting with these guests for a round would cause my arms to be so tired and sore."
Xuanyuan Chen rubbed Xie Qingrong's hand and then held her hand as they walked through the streets of the Wilderness. Every time they came here, they would be in a hurry and never had a good look at the place.
However, the streets here were almost the same as those in the capital. They were bustling with activity as vendors hawked their wares everywhere. However, the only difference was that the goods sold by the hawkers were not as exquisite or gorgeous as those sold in the capital. Instead, they had a simple and unadorned beauty to them.
It was more like he was using his hands to create all of the wild fantasies in his mind.
"Please wait a moment."
A burst of voices came from behind Xuanyuan Chen and his. Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong stopped in their tracks, turned slightly, and watched Mo Yun who was walking over at a leisurely pace.
The two of them looked at each other, each seeing a subtle look in the other's eyes.
"Young Master Mo? "What are you doing?" Xie Qingrong was a little confused.
She and Xuanyuan Chen had never interacted with or even became friends with Mo Yun before, so what was the purpose of Mo Yun stopping them on the street?
In a few steps, Mo Yun had already arrived in front of Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong. He politely cupped his hands, and said with a slight smile: "When I saw Miss Ji in the Ji residence earlier, I was shocked to the core. "Thus, I wish to befriend Miss Ji and invite you two for a banquet in the tavern. May I know what you two are thinking?"
Xie Qingrong laughed, and it seemed like there was a hint of ridicule in her words, "Elder Mo, let me correct you a little. Even though I already recognize my ancestors, I have yet to change my surname. "You can call me whatever you want."
Mo Yun nodded towards Xie Qingrong, his gaze landing on Xuanyuan Chen. He said courteously, "This must be the War God King whose name is renowned throughout the world. He is now the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom."
Xuanyuan Chen smirked, and laughed: "I don't dare to accept it."
"I wonder if His Highness the crown prince and the crown prince's consort will give me face?" Mo Yun asked again.
Xuanyuan Chen's eyes sunk, but his expression did not change at all. Mo Yun was well aware that a war between Wu Huan and the Heavenly Saint was about to break out, so why was he acting this way?
Xie Qingrong seemed to have noticed Xuanyuan Chen's emotional fluctuations as she calmly pulled on Xuanyuan Chen's sleeve. Xuanyuan Chen then said with a smile, "Elder Mo, please lead the way."
Then, let him see what kind of medicine this Black Cloud Gourd is selling!
Although he had already participated in a banquet at the Ji Mansion, in the end, such a banquet was only a way to accumulate connections.
As such, exquisite delicacies were presented in the same way, with the fragrance and color of the food, causing one's appetite to uncontrollably rise.
Mo Yun poured a cup of wine each for Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong and said, "Both of you, try it. This is a special wine that only exists in the Wildlands. I wonder if it can be compared with the wine of the Heavenly Sage? "
Xuanyuan Chen's slender fingers gripped the delicate body of the cup, placing the cup on his nose and took a light sniff, the sweet and fragrant wine instantly filled his entire nose.
What a fragrant wine!
Xie Qingrong, however, was not like Xuanyuan Chen, who would talk about it a little bit, and carefully savor it. She gulped down all the wine in the cup like she was gulping down dates.
Soon, a spicy feeling rushed from his throat all the way to his stomach, bringing with it a slight warmth.
"Good wine." Xie Qingrong praised, "The Heavenly Saint's wine is so mellow and fragrant, the wine in this Savage Land is actually so spicy, that you can even feel the warmth after drinking a cup. Indeed, the saying that alcohol can warm the stomach is not bad. "
As Mo Yun listened to Xie Qingrong's praise, the cold glints in her eyes gradually disappeared. It was rare for him to have a sincere smile on her face.
His fingers caressed the surface of the cup, looking at the woman who had a cozy, free and elegant demeanor.
"The Crown Princess is indeed a hero and a middle-aged woman. She is indeed the principal wife of the Prince of War God. Such a rare girl is something that can only be encountered by luck and not sought after. "
However, these words of praise caused Xuanyuan Chen to frown, the sense of happiness from drinking the good wine slowly disappeared, and his displeased gaze swept over Mo Yun's body.
"The Crown Princess is indeed the best girl I've ever met. It wouldn't be too much to say 'getting a wife is so.'" "However, Elder Mo has an elegant demeanor and looks like a genius. There's no need to worry about him being unable to find the woman he likes."
Xuanyuan Chen quickly stopped Mo Yun's words of appreciation. Mo Yun knew what Xuanyuan Chen meant and laughed out loud. His eyes were filled with admiration and envy when he looked at Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong.
If the two of them were to live in Wu Huan's place, it would definitely be his, Wu Huan's, fortune.
What a pity …
As he thought of this, Mo Yun's expression became slightly dark and quickly returned to normal. There was not the slightest change from before.
Even though Xie Qingrong was drinking, she still took in the changes in Mo Yun's expression without batting an eyelid. She silently sighed in her heart, Mo Yun's ability to change his expression was too strong for her to handle.
"Elder Mo, let's not beat around the bush. As the person in charge of Wu Huan, what is your motive for inviting Gu and the princess consort? " Xuanyuan Chen was too lazy to waste his breath on Mo Yun anymore. He finally understood that there was a trace of interest in Mo Yun's eyes, the same as the time when he looked at A Rong.
A Rong was one of his people, he did not like others coveting A Rong.
"Why is Crown Prince Xuanyuan in such a hurry? First, we'll eat. After that, we'll explain everything to the crown prince. " Mo Yun laughed, but in his heart, he was disdainful towards Xuanyuan Chen. To think that he could not keep his cool, he had overestimated this so called War God King.
Just by thinking about it, Xuanyuan Chen had already guessed most of what Mo Yun was planning. However, he was not happy with Mo Yun's expression and said with a sneer, "Gu and the Crown Princess have already dined at the Ji Mansion. The reason why they agreed to Elder Mo's invitation is to give the Mo family some face. Since Elder Mo is unwilling to speak of the truth, then there's no point in using this meal. "
Finished, she pulled Xie Qingrong's hand and was about to leave.
Mo Yun looked at the backs of Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong who were about to leave, with an inexplicable expression. A pair of deep eyes were pitch-black, as though a storm was brewing.
Ever since he forced the real ruler of the Mo family to abdicate, no one dared to speak to him in such a tone anymore.
Very good.
As expected of Xuanyuan Chen!
Even though he knew that Xuanyuan Chen's move was to retreat in order to advance, he still clenched his hands tightly and spoke to urge his to stay.
